NobelGuide$^{TM}$ 임플란트 시스템은 골량과 골질을 수술 전에 판단하여 점막을 젖히지 않고 미리 계획된 스텐트와 보철물을 이용하여 즉시하중을 부여하는 CAD/CAM 기반의 임플란트 보철 치료방법이다. 환자의 불편감을 최소화하여 미리 예측 가능한 위치에 임플란트를 식립함으로써 술 후 합병증 및 보철과정을 간소화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 증례의 환자는 56세 남성으로 상,하악 부분 무치악 상태였으며, 상악전치부 보철물 탈락과 하악 전치가 흔들린다는 주소로 내원하였다. 이에 상악 잔존치 모두와 하악 4전치 발거 및 치주치료를 실시한 뒤 임시 의치를 6개월간 사용하여 발치와 치유 및 의치 적응여부를 평가하였다. 골량은 충분하다고 판단되었고 환자의 협조도와 경제적인 여건, 전신건강 등 여러 사항이 양호하여 CAD/CAM 기반의 수술템플렛을 이용한 무판막 수술을 통해, 미리 제작된 임시 고정성 보철물로 즉시하중을 부여하는 상악 NobelGuide$^{TM}$ 임플란트 시스템을 계획하였다. 사용중인 임시의치를 이용하여 제작한 방사선 스텐트로 CT를 촬영하고, computer based planning (Procera$^{(R)}$ software)을 통해 3차원적인 골형상과 각 부위별 단면상을 참고하여 상악에 8개의 임플란트 식립체를 생역학적 관점 및 골조건을 고려하여 분산 배치하였다. 미리 제작된 임시 고정성 보철물을 임플란트 수술 후 즉시 장착 및 하중을 부여하여 기능하도록 하였으며 6개월 후 골유착 정도를 평가한 뒤 금속구조물을 이용한 최종 보철물을 제작하였다. 하악의 경우 전치부 도재전장주조금속관과 우측 구치부 임플란트 보철물 제작을 통해 상, 하악 치료를 마무리하였다.

Purpose : To assess the width of the labial alveolar bone of the incisive canal and the width of the incisive canal on spiral computed tomographic images of the anterior portion of the maxilla. Materials and Methods : Study materials included 38 CT scans taken for preoperative planning of implant placement. Axial cross-sectioned image entirely showing the incisive canal was selected and scanned with 600 DPI resolution. The width of the labial alveolar bone of the incisive canal at an orifice to the oral cavity, middle portion, and an orifice to the nasal cavity and the diameter of the incisive canal at the middle portion were determined by two specialist using Digora for Windows 2.1 The statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS 12.0.1. Results : When the maxillary central incisors remained, the mean labial alveolar bone width were $6.81{\pm}1.41mm,\;6.46{\pm}1.33mm$, and $7.91{\pm}1.33mm$. When the maxillary central incisors were missed the mean width were $5.42{\pm}2.20mm,\;6.23{\pm}2.29mm$, and $7.89{\pm}2.13mm$. Conclusions : The labial alveolar bone width at middle portion and an orifice to the nasal cavity were of no statistical significant difference according to presence of the maxillary central incisors (P>0.05). The width between oral cavity and nasal cavity, middle portion and to nasal cavity revealed statistically significant difference (P<0.05).

Surgical intervention in the posterior maxillary region requires detailed knowledge of maxillary sinus anatomy and the possible anatomical variations. This study evaluated the incidence, location of maxillary sinus septa by using radiographic (panoramic radiography and computed tomography) findings and comparison of panoramic radography with CT in antral anatomical variation. This study was based on data from 70 sinuses in partial dentate maxilla. The sample consisted of 61 patients(25 women and 36 men, with ages ranging between 19 and 77 years and a mean age of $49.4{\pm}11.3$ years) who were being treatment-planned to receive implant-supported restorations. First, the panoramic images were examined for the presence of antral septa by radiologist and examiner who don't know about CT findings. And incidence of antral septa was evaluated using an axial plane of CT image. The incidence of septa was compared between panoramic radiography and CT. The accuracy of the incidence was compared between radiologists and dentists. A total of 20 septa were found in 70 sinuses on CT image and the prevalence of one or more septa per sinus was found to be 28.6%. The assumed incidence of septa on panoramic radiography was $27.6%{\pm}2.2%$ in radiologist and $31.9%{\pm}5.8%$ in dentists. Erroneous diagnosis rate was 11.42% in radiologist and 15.96% in dentists. 40% of antral septa were located in the anterior(premolar) region, 30% of septa were located in the middle(first molar) and posterior(second molar) region separately. Prior to implant placement, it seems appropriate to consider panoramic radiography as a standard radiographic examination and periapical radiographs may be used to complete the findings in regions not sharply depicted in the panoramic radiograph. And cross-sectional imaging should be used in sites with severe bone loss and close proximity of the maxillary sinus.

Bone density in the recipient implant site seems to be an important factor for long term success of endosseous implants. Preoperative evaluation of bone density is very helpful to assist the clinician with the treatment planning of implant therapy. Accurate information on bone density will help the surgeon identify suitable implant sites, thereby improving the success rate of the procedure. Purpose; The aim of this study was to evaluate a correlation between bone density measured preoperatively with computerized tomography and histologically measured bone density by bone biopsy. Patients and methods; Twenty seven patients were selected. All the patients were in good health, with no systemic disorder and additional bone graft. Preoperatively the patients underwent CT scanning to evaluate Houmsfield Unit(HU). Each patients wore a surgical template for implant placement. During surgery 2mm in diameter and 6mm in length specimens were taken. Histomorphometric analysis was performed using digitalized image analysis software Axiovision 4.3. Also, the Resonance frequency analysis(RFA) and insertion torque values were recorded. Results; The highest histomorphometric values was found in the posterior mandible $32.3{\pm}3.8$, followed by $29.9{\pm}2.6$ for the posterior maxilla, $29.4{\pm}2.6$ for the anterior maxilla, $28.6{\pm}2.3$ for the anterior mandible(p=0.214). The hounsfield unit was $989.2{\pm}258.1$ in the posterior mandible, $845.0{\pm}241.5$ in the anterior maxilla, $744.5{\pm}92.6$ in the anterior mandible, $697.3{\pm}136.9$ in the posterior maxilla(p=0.045). This results may suggest that there are strong correlation between the histomorphometric values and hounsfield unit(r=0.760, p<0.05). The RF measurements were $81.9{\pm}2.4$ ISQ in the posterior mandible, $79.0{\pm}1.4$ ISQ in the anterior mandible, $78.3{\pm}4.6$ ISQ in the posterior maxilla, $76.5{\pm}5.0$ ISQ in the anterior maxilla(p=0.048). The insertion torque values was $43.2{\pm}4.2\;Ncm$ in the posterior mandible, $42.0{\pm}0.0\;Ncm$ in the anterior mandible, $41.3{\pm}4.1\;Ncm$ in the posterior maxilla, $40.8{\pm}3.8\;Ncm$ in the anterior maxilla(p=0.612). This results may suggest that there are statistical significance between the hounsfield unit and the insertion torque values(r=0.494, p<0.05), the histomorphometric values and the insertion torque values(r=0.689, p<0.05). But there was no correlation between histomorphometric values and ISQ. There was no statistical significance in age and gender effect on parameters. Conclusions; There was significant correlations between bone density and implant stability parameters. The bone density measurements using preoperative CT may help clinicians to predict primary stability before implant insertion, which is associated with implant survival rates.
